Own Your Own Circus

Living day to day such a marathon
no need for self-preservation
why bother?
there's no need.

Paranoia.
Lovestruck.
Pleasure.
Nervousness.
How can these all be brought together
Like a simultaneous void
of both positive and negative
feelings so foreign
So Pure
so different
so welcomed.

there's a light illuminating the tunnel that had once been ripped and broken
now whole
now complete with a thirty-foot tall candelabra
warming the innards of a dread locked vagrant
like the Old Forrester consumed so lonely and long ago

any love and every love thy heart shall desire
is what I posses and can give away without a hitch
malleable and tangible luxury's however
is not what I can provide with ease or consistency

Please look not down your nose
at my finances, so meager and lame

please look past at the boy with his arms outstretched so wide
wanting and awaiting your embrace
to make one whole and complete
free and irradicated of misery, loathing, and heartache

All I want for you happiness
All I need for you is joy
All I want from you is heart
All I need from you is love

Underneath the warmth of the street light
I'll hold you and never let go
Lips locked and tongues engaging in battle
On this night so dark and full of hope.
